*Tinn's Car*

As Tinn cruised along the road that stretched down from the dark alley way that he had just exited towards his house, he was in a state of disequilibrium. Flashbacks on how it all started crossed his mind :

It had been the day that Pha and the boys had paid him a visit at his home and seemingly dropped a bombshell on how he owed that idiot Nic his life . He had appeared relatively composed but this facade was as pretty similar to that of a duck which masked their furious need to paddle their webbed feet underwater while wearing a poker face. Tinn had wanted to clear his mind by going on a ride when he realised that a relatively suspicious looking
vehicle tailing him . He turned left and 2 vehicles behind a silver Honda turned along with him , he turned into a narrow alleyway , the Honda was one car behind , he parked along the street to confirm his suspicion and without a doubt , the silver Honda parked right along with him . Tinn furrowed his eyebrows and cursed under his breath as he guessed it had to be the vermin like scums that portrayed nothing but lies , most call them paparazzi. He considered for awhile and he thought better than to confront the unknown prey and would rather find the spider that was spinning this web . He pulled his car out of the space and drove further up to a more secluded area downtown where the traffic was less congested and parked at one of the multi storey carparks . Having picked one of the levels with a few sprinkle of vehicles in a couple of lots, he was satisfied with his choice and looked into his rear view mirror trying to understand if that shutter bug had followed his bait . The prey was in the trap ! Tinn casually pranced out of his car , locked it and with a very determined look in his face, walked right up to the silver Honda and bending his tall frame just a bit to see through the mirror, Tinn smirked. What stared back with a look of total disarray was a balding middle aged guy with dark eye circles and heavy eye bags that decorated his gaunt looking face which had a look of fear splashed across his face at being discovered. Tinn swung open the door and grabbed the sitting man by the collar and dragged him out of the car by force and flung him against the car door , sealing it shut behind him .

" Listen . I am going to give you exactly 1 minute to answer my questions .. no no Hush ! Don't talk just yet listen ! I want to know who sent you and what you are tasked to do . If you lie to me . I will know and I will end you . You hear me ? END you . Now if your information is of use to me , I will pay you double of what he is paying you" Tinn talked in a calm and composed manner as he freed his hands from the filth that he was holding and reached for his phone from his pocket and proceeded to record the conversation which was now going to happen.

This shaking man darted his eyes around to look for a way to escape and seeing there was none , sweating profusely decided to save his own skin and make a profit out of it. The canary sang the song that Tinn was not in the least bit surprised. He came up with a plan then and there , telling him that he would contact the shutter bug as soon as he had a task for him . Seeing how this proposal was going to benefit him from both ends , the bald man agreed readily and after giving Tinn his name card, fled the scene.

Tinn on his way back to his apartment had laid down his plans to make his nosey brother pay for all his underhand means to stir up some nonsense in the wake of his departure. His darling Brother needs to understand that it is not seeming so simple to play dumb . Tinn intended to do that by feeding his Brother a false sense of security by tricking him to think that the paparazzi had in fact gotten some juicy shots of Tinn but infact he wanted to use the opportunity to his advantage. On one side , earn some sympathy point from Can who will in no way be exposed to the media. On the other hand, make his brother less guarded thinking his plot has succeeded and turn the table around by planting evidence with him and sue him for bribery of a reporter. It would work so much better since the publishing house that paparazzi happened to be affiliated to a rival company . The cheese pieces were all set and Tinn would play this game to his advantage and if it takes down Nic in the process , it would kill two birds with one stone.
